I am applying to colleges this fall, and I have run into a big roadblock in deciding whether or not to apply ED to WUSTL or Duke. My big question in what the social life is like at Washington u. I have heard from a few sources that parties are not that great, Greek life is a little weak, and a lot of intelligent people lead to a little bit of a bored social life.
I am a very sociable person and what is really important to me is obviously a good social group of kids.
These are my questions:


What are the parties like?
What is the main population of the school like? (as in wayyy too smart to function or balanced athletically or what?)
Are people social inside the dorms?
What kind of work load is that average engineer going to have?
Are there any specific things that anyone can tell me about the university that defines it compared to any other places?


Thanks for the help, I think that these questions/ answers will go a long way in helping me decide where to go!! :))
